User reviews

No CSV export

The backup is to a proprietary file. This app is of limited use if one cannot export to CSV. Otherwise works nicely in its own world.

Seems to work well

Just downloaded it, and scanned five books. It was able to identify all five books, just one didn’t have a photo of the cover. Was able to organize the scanned books onto a virtual bookshelf, neat inventory tool.

Question

I used this (amazing) app about 18 months ago and wanted to start using it again, but it doesn’t seem to be working. Is it still supported?

Fantastic app and it’s free

I tried a few other apps before this and they either wanted me to subscribe or had very little functionality. This app does exactly what I want it to do for free and it does it very well. It was designed very intuitively as well. Thank you to the person who made this. You have helped me out a lot!
